Unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the franchise has loosely connected story-lines, with greater autonomy for the filmmakers who create each individual film. It is the eleventh-highest-grossing film franchise of all time, having grossed over USD 5. 56 billion at the global box office. The first film in the DCEU was Man of Steel, followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam!, Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984. The franchise will continue with The Suicide Squad in 2021; The Flash and Aquaman 2 in 2022; ShZam! Fury of the Gods in 2023; and Black Adam on an undecided date. The DCEu will expand to streaming television on HBO Max with Zack Snyder’s Justice League, a miniseries-format director’s cut of Justice League in 2021, and Peacemaker on an unannounced date. In March 2020, Jim Lee called the franchise, the DC Extended universe at C2E2. The franchise was officially titled DC Extended universes when the WarnerMedia streaming service HBO Max launched the following May. In June 2013, it was reported that director and screenwriter David S. Goyer would be returning for a sequel, which was being fast-tracked to a release in June 2014.
The project was put on indefinite hold in January 2008, after failing to secure tax breaks for filming in Australia, as well as the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. In February 2007, Warner Bros., hired husband and wife duo Michele and Kieran Mulroney to write a script for a Justice League film. The film was reportedly titled Justice League Mortal, with Armie Hammer cast as Batman, D.J. Cotrona as Superman, Adam Brody as Flash, Santiago Cabrera as Green Lantern, and Hugh Keays-Byrne as Martian Manhunter. In 2013, Man Of Steel was set to lay the groundwork for future DC films, so if it were a success, so would a sequel to the film contained references to other characters in the DC Universe, so that it could launch a shared universe before it could be launched. In January 2014, the studio canceled development to focus on individual Superman and Batman projects. Christian Bale, who starred as Batman in Batman Begins, was not approached to reprise the role, nor was Brandon Routh, who star as Superman in Superman Returns. George Miller was hired to direct the film, reportedly titledJustice League Mortal. In September 2017, DC confirmed to him in September 2017 that the term was not used internally and they did not consider it official. During the DC Films panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, a video banner displayed the words \”Welcome to the Worlds of DC\”, after showcasing some upcoming films.
